Mau is part of the state of Hawaii. The population is diverse with many ethnic groups; since, people arrived to the islands to work in sugar cane and pineapple planations from countries of the wester Pacific Rim.
The native Hawaiians from Polynesia, Tahiti, and Marques were originally populated Maui. Later on the missionaries arrived in 1823 from England. They created the 12-letter alphabet, writing and reading system and many more inventions. In addition, the island later was annexed by U.S. and made a territory in 1900. Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959.
In recent years population growth increased, as well as the prices for properties went up. It started to get difficult to rent or buy a place for the residents. Sugar Cane Cultilvation used over 80% of the island's water supply. The governement started to get concerned about this issue trying to find solutions to the problem.
